EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Historical Journey Across the North Saskatchewan River: Alberta, Canada's Edmonton to Strathcona Cable Ferry 2.. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the Edmonton to Strathcona Cable Ferry in Alberta, Canada, a vital connection between two communities during a time when roads were scarce and rivers were the primary means of transportation. The image presents an intriguing scene of a horse-drawn cart and a large quantity of cut timber being transported across the North Saskatchewan River. 3. Background: The Edmonton to Strathcona Cable Ferry was a cable-operated ferry that linked the cities of Edmonton and Strathcona, Alberta, from 1902 to 1967. The ferry was an essential lifeline for residents, enabling them to travel between the two communities and transport goods, including timber, across the river. The horse-drawn cart and the substantial pile of timber in the photograph underscore the importance of this ferry service in facilitating the daily lives of the people. 4. Description: In the image, a horse, harnessed to the cart, stands ready to pull it onto the ferry. The cart is laden with various items, but the most notable is the large stack of cut timber. The ferry, with its cable taut and ready, is positioned in the foreground, while the North Saskatchewan River stretches out behind it. The natural beauty of the landscape, with its lush greenery and clear blue waters, adds to the allure of this historical moment. 5. Legacy: The Edmonton to Strathcona Cable Ferry played a significant role in the history of Alberta, Canada, as it provided a crucial link between two growing communities. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who lived in this region over a century ago, as they navigated the challenges of transportation and communication in a rapidly changing world.
